The road in Cardiff has double-yellow lines on even though it’s not wide enough to get a car through

"You could never fit a car down here anyway, haven't they got better things to spend money on?"

Cardiff Council defended the lines and said they were painted for health and safety reasons.

A spokesman said: "Whilst accepting that the width of the lane in Heath Park is narrow it is worth remembering that restrictions are placed by the Council where there has been an identified issue of safety to the highway user be it in vehicles or on foot.

"The lines at this location have been placed to deter anti-social parking on the narrow access lane as we were unable to stop this activity with physical restrictions such as bollards.

The road in Plymouth allows cars to park on both sides

"The movement of vehicles on this narrow section whilst the access was being used by pedestrians would most likely have been deemed the safety concern in this case."

In Plymouth, the "no parking" lines appeared on a 5ft wide tarmac path.

Even a small three door Ford Fiesta is 5.6ft wide and passers-by hit out at the waste of money.

One resident said: "It's totally bonkers. We need to park, but people also need to be able to use the road too."
